Are
we preaching Doom and Gloom?[1]
Absolutely not. But like Patrick Henry we thought you might be “willing
to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it.”
It is also not going to be gloom and doom because we are going to share
with you the tried and true solution that has worked for society
many times when man made the same foolish mistakes we see going on today.
For those who can handle the truth and are willing to do something about
it the solution can provide what you need and produce a better and more
fruitful society in the process.

Meredith
Whitney, whose economic forecasts proved to be some of the most accurate
predictions of the previous and present financial crises of this last
decade does not see a light at the end of the tunnel but believes that
“the tunnel is about to collapse.”[2]
While some economists are suggesting a future of slow growth based on
what they have seen they seem to be turning a blind eye to all the problems
looming on the near horizon.

When
the $240 billion from the Recovery Act runs out, states and local governments
everywhere, with billions of dollars of unfunded benefits and services,
overextended debt obligation and reduced revenue, will began to make another
wave of cuts and layoffs or default.

States
are trying to get a law passed that allows them to declare bankruptcy.
This will kill the power of the state employee unions. States like New
Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Louisiana, Illinois and
others have reached a point of no return. The same thing we have seen
in Greece, Britain and Ireland and will be seeing in Portugal, Spain and
Italy will have to be faced in the states. Benefits will be slashed, millions
of people including government workers may lose their jobs, and whatever
people have left in their savings will be vanquished by a deluge of inflation.

Meredith
and others see that banks are also facing much, much greater credit losses
and 2.7 trillion dollars will be cut from the credit lines of Americans.
She is convinced that we are entering the "biggest financial crisis
in history".

While
this will be an end to some things it will also be the beginning of others.
This is because we live in a cause and effect universe and there are always
two sides to every equation. Our choice is simple, “Which side do
you wish to be a part of while you are making your own history?”

The
phrase "biggest financial crisis in history" is not
describing the gradual inflation we have seen over the last decades but
a total monetary collapse. The economy is not being propped up by federal
stimulus packages as much as it is by foreigners buying whatever products
are still available from America. They are buying American because they
see the need to dump Federal Reserve Notes.

The
Chinese spending spree alone is pumping billions of dollars into the American
economy as they dump the dollar. Even with that the Fed finds
a need for its QE (printing of more dollars) just to keep selling bonds,
sometimes to its own paid bidders. These buyouts, boondoggles and bailouts
cannot occur without the repercussion of the great hidden tax
– inflation - which drains the life and energy from every American,
while fueling the dump the dollar syndrome growing world wide.

The first two questions
which might arise at this point are:

“Whose fault
is it and what can be done about it?”

The first thing
to make note of is that we have not been talking about the problem but
the symptoms. You could fill several books with the reasons why and
how and who is responsible for every step toward this crisis over the
last century or more. The problem we face is not sudden nor singular
in nature but it is the result of a chain of abuses and a history of
neglect. Pointing fingers at perceived culprits is not only useless
but fruitless unless we are pointing those fingers at ourselves.

Yes,
the problem is us. That is good news because we can do something
about us a lot easier than doing something about all the other foolish
people we have been keeping company with or depending on over the last
century. It is not like being ugly or something. If you were ugly you
would probably wake up tomorrow and still be ugly. Being foolish, on
the other hand, you can do something about. With a little work you could
wake up wise, if you are willing to wake up at all.

The
first thing to do is stop blaming God for the governments you establish.
The people create governments and give them power through their own
actions and negligence, covenants and applications. We must stop turning
our responsibilities over to others. If we want our rights back and
control over our own lives then we must take back our responsibilities
on all levels as individuals, as families and in our communities.

“As
long as we look to government to solve our problems we will always suffer
tyranny.”[3]

Man
needs government. But the kind of man you are will determine the kind
of government you get. The slothful shall be under tribute.[4]
The covetous shall be made merchandise.[5]
The proud shall lose their liberty to men who promises them freedom
from their responsibilities to one another.[6]

William
Penn said “Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled
by Tyrants.”

The
second thing to do is stand up and start gathering together in networks
of freedom minded doers. Start coming together with those who
care about their neighbor as much as themselves. Stop waiting for someone
else to do what you need to do for yourself. Start becoming a part of
the solution. We will be touring thirty States from March through May
giving seminars and lectures on what the early Church did when they
faced the same problems we see today.[7]

There
are some don'ts. Don't imagine that suddenly the majority of people
are going to start doing the right thing or that democracy works.[8]
Don't ever think they will build it so you can come. Building it is
just the beginning of taking that responsibility back. You build it
with anyone else who will work building it too.

You are looking for humble, hardworking, brave, selfless people full
of virtue. People who are patient, not brawlers, not covetous, wise
as serpents, and harmless as doves, the forgiving and the giving. You
need to actually seek out those people. Yes! I know they may be a little
hard to find these days, but that is what makes them such a treasure.
Instead of coveting their neighbor's goods through the power of those
men who call themselves benefactors, which most people of the
world like to elect, they choose to be wittingly, willingly, and wisely
charitable with one another.

What
does that charity look like? In Christ's “woe” to the Pharisees
speech he faulted those hypocrites because as a society they failed
to diligently attend to “the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment,
mercy, and faith.”[9]
They had established a system of social welfare[10]
for the needy of their society, but that was not charity. They had an
extensive system of courts to guarantee that everyone paid their share,
but that was not charity. They elected a congress in the form of a Sanhedrin
to pass laws and regulate what was contributed and how it was distributed
but those were the men who called themselves benefactors but exercised
authority which we were told not to depend upon which is certainly
not charity either. Their government was a contradiction to what Moses
and Christ taught.[11]
They had become covetous and coercive.[12]

Those
people had rejected God though they professed him with their mouth.
They had accepted the new deal offered by Herod.[13]
They had a new father upon the earth to apply to for benefits.[14]
By their own desire to force their neighbor to contribute to their welfare
they were snared[15]
by the promises of men who were not true benefactors.[16]

God
allows the wicked[17] to elect the means of their
own punishment, warning them exactly what that punishment would look
like[18] and what to expect from Him.[19]
Systems of guarantees and entitlements weaken the people and any society[20]
snared in a covetous relationship which shall be fatal.

If
we realize that the words solution and salvation, application and prayer,
contracts, covenants, allegiance and faith are synonyms and that the
Bible is mostly about good and bad governments, including Jesus' preaching
a kingdom at hand and taking it from one group and appointing it to
another and then giving instruction on what not to do in its operation
and service, a new understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom becomes
a possibility. Considering the political, financial, social, and the
moral crises accompanying the decline and fall of Rome everyone who
has eyes to see and ears to hear might be figuring out what the problem
is. If we would consider the activities and virtue that governed that
early Church we could see the wisdom of that solution offered by Christ.

Americans
and much of the world have fundamentally taken a wrong turn a long time
ago and have been compounding that error over the last century. They
have progressed into a giant world economy with the contracting of nations
and the centralization of power at the expense of individual liberty.
Making the identical mistakes of Imperial Rome will undoubtedly produce
the same results on a much larger scale. The American proverb, “The
bigger they are the harder they fall” simply describes a
crises equation of staggering proportions.

It
is passed time to repent and change our ways individually and together.
First we must see our folly and then turn around and do what it takes
to go in the other direction. As we already stated we must take our
responsibilities back individually and in local communities, if we can
handle the light.

“For
every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to
the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought
in God.” John 3:20,21

Brother
Gregory was born in America in 1948. His father was a practicing attorney
and his mother the daughter of Norwegian immigrants. He Married in
1973, and is the Father of 6 children with a growing number of grandchildren.
He grew up in southeast Texas, attending private schools, entering
the seminary at 13, where he studied Latin, Greek, and theology. In
the course of these studies he began to become aware of secrets hidden
for centuries within ancient libraries that began to reveal a more
fundamental purpose in the gospel of Christ. His quest to understand
the “whole truth” has led him down a labyrinth of law
and language, history and prophecy, fable and fallacy, in a unique
portrait of bondage and betrayal, liberty and freedom, and the solution
and salvation.

He
is the author of several books, include The
Covenants of the gods, Thy Kingdom Comes, and The Free Church
Report, dozens of pamphlets, audio, and video recordings. He has appeared
on radio and television “preaching the gospel of the kingdom
of God” which is at hand, within your reach. His common theme
is how are men brought into bondage and how are they made free souls
under God. His hope and prayer is to bring man's relationship with
the God of creation and his relationship with the gods of the “world”
into a new perspective and light. Knowing the truth shall set you
free, if we will do the will of our Father in heaven.

He now lives
near Summer Lake, Oregon where he continues to care for his family,
tending sheep of the Church and overseeing the edification of the
Church established by Christ in the hearts and minds of congregations
of the people, for the people, by the people who will seek the Kingdom
of God and His righteousness.
